Thank you for releasing DJMAX Respect on PC but before I'm talking about negative things I'm gonna talk about the overall things first.

Gameplay

It's DJMAX and that's it. Vertical lane, Easy to look pattern, and even play with "any" controller that you can afford for. (I have played it with PS4 controller / Yuancon (Keyboard mode)

Old school DJMAX style : 4B/5B/6B/6BFX (6 Button + Red note as FX button)

Mission mode: This one I can say that was almost easy to learn DJMAX from time to time. You can learn DJMAX with mission mode and bring some Gimmicks from older DJMAX mission (Gear moving, Full-screen Gear, (actual) Mirror play, etc.)
[Note: Mission mode in DJMAX, Clazziquai is easiest.]

Unlock progression: Not like DJMAX Trilogy, Songs can be unlocked by play count. But Gear/Equipment must play in Mission mode or some requirement in Collection (Please check it out).

Playlist

Yes, They trying to bring most of the songs from every DJMAX Franchise. And they focus to catch up with PS4 first.
And DLC, I think this year (2020) they about to update the game month by month. Should be good enough.

[Note for newcomers :
The default DJMAX Playlist having 100+ songs including DJMAX Portable 1,2 and Respect (+V) it self]

Graphics

FPS Unlock support / High Refresh rate monitor support. [All that I can say]
But if you having some unstable things about timing, I highly recommended using V-Sync.

V Exclusive (PC Exclusive)

Online mode: You can play with a pre-created lobby and It's not restricted just 2 people like DJMAX Respect PS4. And Respect V having a rank mode to challenge another player.

AIR mode: In short, Radio mode. Replaced with Arcade mode in PS4.

OST

I love how this DJMAX team love their customers. [more detail below.] They released the physical OST for a limited time but I miss the pre-order. A few months later, They release a digital download in Steam and it contains MP3 and WAV format. And about to releasing more the past OST too.

NEGATIVE THINGS. [Fanboy / Butt-hurt ALERT]

1. When RESPECT V got early access on stream. They try to fix everything and timing isn't fix yet. I heard the sounds it's quite a bit late than I hit a key sound.



1.1 Sometimes, I cannot get into the main menu screen at all. I'm playing on my PC with higher spec but my laptop is equal like my PC but stuck at the main menu screen [everything is black just only heard sounds.]


Updated : Fixed

2. I want to switch from PS4 to PC. And I think this one I will say goodbye But Rocky Studio decides to remove a bunch of things on PS4. I think they try to make RESPECT Series to equal each other.

3. Regional Prices. They changed the prices on the launch date. And they had a form to refund/ request a special code for those who purchase the game for higher prices. I fill the form and they didn't reply to me yet. Bunch of my friends got the upgrade to RESPECT V Deluxe edition [That contain Emotional Sense / V Extension DLC.] BUT I DID NOT GET ANYTHING.

4. As the PS4 player. They focusing to release everything on Steam first but PS4 just no sign of any "new" update. Cytus DLC no ETA for PS4, Free TAPSONIC songs didn't come to PS4 [They released on RESPECT V on 18 June but on July no sign of any update yet.]

Update: September 2020 : They released Cytus DLC on PS4 with a bunch of glitch that some song cannot be play on PS4.

Update: On October 2020 : Delay for hot fix on a couples week later. Still, idk why they're patching hot fix on Steam so fast but on PS4 like they didn't care at all.

Conclusion

I'm kinda disappointed with the team. But the game is always good. If you look for a good rhythm game. Don't miss this one. This one I'm highly recommended to buy it. Good songs, Good BGA, Good content, everything is good. But this time let me rant about the PS4 side.
